Most people prefer to talk than listen. In school, a teacher gets to talk and the students are forced to listen. This is the main problem. The educational system needs to make sure kids are active instead of passive.

Then schools teach everyone on the same level. They are run like manufacturing process plants. There was not enough repetition in languages for me and too much in math for me, so these subjects were a total waste of time.

Then there is the boredom devil who prevents any textbook from being published if it scores less than a ten on the one to ten boredom scale. Likewise, no teacher can be certified to teach unless she/he scores a ten on the boredom scale.

I have a high school education, I’m even military and college educated and no one will still hire me. I have to know someone or screw my way into a career these days. I’ve done great cover letters and resumes, I’ve even had jobs that most people wouldn’t dare do, like fishing in Alaska.

I suppose if I were to bow down and kiss butt I’d have a career. Is not going to happen.

I don’t like school because, for most people, there are better ways to get an education without wasting the time in classrooms. School is unnatural but is accepted as normal because people have the mindset that everyone must go to school. Everyone should learn and get an education. People need to open their minds to better ways to educate.

second, why post this in the homeschool section?

If you want to poll people, that’s great, but pick polls and surveys next time.
